Innovative usage of the Wii and DS control systems to maneuver your favorite character will allow players to race the likes of Mario and Sonic down the 100m track, leap over the high jump, or churn water in a swimming heat, all while competing for the much sought-after Olympic gold medal. With up to four players on the Wii and on the DS, the stage is set to catch the fever this holiday with Mario and Sonic.

 Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is great fun for the entire family! My 4 year old and 7 year old are both able to play the games with different success. My husband and I also love it. It is a very physically involved game where you can get a good work out and may wake up with stiff arms. Some games are more difficult than others, but overall a lot of fun.

 Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games is seems to be limited on the different activities. My son got it for Christmas and has only played it one time.

 Son really enjoyed Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. But as a added bonus the whole family could play and have a really good time. Its a work out in itself.

Great!!, January 13, 2008
